Urban Film and Television: Jiang Lai is the Top Choice

Mu Qi was speechless again after Peng Jiahe choked him up.

"You're really not cute at all!"

Mu Qi really couldn't do anything about Peng Jiahe, but she couldn't deny that what Peng Jiahe said was true.

Given He Xinyan's current situation, if she can resolve it herself, it's best not to trust anyone.

He Xinyan listened to the argument between Mu Qi and Peng Jiahe and also figured out some of the underlying issues.

Peng Jiahe seemed to be completely on her side.

Mu Qi seemed to be weighing the pros and cons, trying to protect her while keeping the school out of the public spotlight.

After listening to the argument between Mu Qi and Peng Jiahe, Fang Yifan and the other three also had their own thoughts, but no one knew exactly what they were thinking.

Just then, two cars stopped in front of Peng Jiahe and his group.

Peng Jiahe looked at He Xinyan and said, "If you trust me, come with me and we'll discuss how to resolve your situation."

He Xinyan paused for a moment, glanced at Mu Qi, and smiled at Peng Jiahe, saying, "Of course I believe you! After all, we are both students."

After saying that, He Xinyan got into Peng Jiahe's car.

When Mu Qi saw He Xinyan about to leave with Peng Jiahe, he frowned and looked at Peng Jiahe, asking, "When did you call the car?"

"Is there a problem when you put on your shoes?"

"No problem! Can I come with you?"

"What? You want to be an inside man?"

Mu Qi, hearing Peng Jiahe's words, felt somewhat helpless and could only compromise, saying, "I admit that I do have some personal motives towards the football team, but I can guarantee that I will absolutely not do anything that would harm He Xinyan's interests. Moreover, I can guarantee that He Xinyan's interests will always come first. Is that acceptable to you?"

Mu Qi realized that when talking to Peng Jiahe, one had to approach it from a businessman's perspective. If one talked to Peng Jiahe like an adult would talk to a child, Peng Jiahe would shut one up.

Peng Jiahe smiled and shook his head, saying, "I refuse! I believe I can handle He Xinyan's matter, why should I add another unexpected twist like this?"

To be honest, Mu Qi was really worried. Peng Jiahe was quite aggressive and capable, and what he feared most was that Peng Jiahe would make a big fuss. In that case, no matter what the final outcome was, the football team would definitely have to disband.

Just as Mu Qi was feeling helpless, Peng Jiahe said to Fang Yifan and the others, "Aren't you going to get in the car? Are you going to take a taxi back yourselves?"

Fang Yifan realized what was happening and quickly nodded, leading Qiao Yingzi and the others into the car.

After Fang Yifan and the others got into the car, Peng Jiahe looked at Li Jiaqu in the car and said, "Let's go to Sister Jiang Lai's restaurant."

Li Jiaqu nodded and drove away.

Peng Jiahe also walked to the bridgehead and drove away in her car.

Standing on the bridge, watching Peng Jiahe's departing figure, Mu Qi sighed deeply and said, "I hope Peng Jiahe doesn't go too far!"

Just then, Mu Qi's phone rang. Seeing that it was Pei Duo calling, he answered the phone and said directly, "He Xinyan is fine. Peng Jiahe took her to the Western restaurant from last time."

Before Pei Duo could even ask her question, she had already received the answer. After a moment of surprise, she said, "In that case, I'm going to the restaurant too. Are you going to the restaurant as well?"

Mu Qi was about to hang up when he heard Pei Duo's question and immediately realized that since he already had the address, why did he have to ask Peng Jiahe to take him there?

Having figured this out, Mu Qi quickly said to Pei Duo, "I'm going to the restaurant now!"

When Peng Jiahe arrived at the restaurant, he saw He Xinyan and the others standing blankly in the restaurant's lobby.

"What are you all doing standing here? Why don't you go to a private room?"

Fang Yifan swallowed hard and looked at Peng Jiahe, saying, "We thought we had gone to the wrong place, but it really is here?"

Huang Zhitong nodded in agreement, saying, "This place is so luxurious, it must be expensive to eat here once, right? And we have to go to a private room! That would be even more expensive!"

Peng Jiahe rolled her eyes at Fang Yifan and Huang Zhitao and said, "I invited you here, so I definitely won't make you pay! Are you afraid I'll rip you off?"

After saying that, Peng Jiahe walked up to the lobby manager and said, "Give us the largest private room, get us some food first, and then notify Sister Jiang Lai, Sister Manny and Brother Yang to come over. I need to talk to them."

"Yes, Miss Jiahe! I'll have someone prepare it right away."

Peng Jiahe nodded and looked at Fang Yifan and the others, saying, "Let's go!"

They had only taken two steps when Mu Qi hurriedly caught up with them.

"You guys are too fast! It took us ages to catch up."

Peng Jiahe pursed his lips and ignored Mu Qi, then led He Xinyan and Fang Yifan to the largest private room.

Seeing this situation, Mu Qi had no choice but to shamelessly follow along.

After everyone was seated, Peng Jiahe said, "Tell your family that you're dining out and will be back later! If they're worried, have them come to the restaurant to find you."

Upon hearing Peng Jiahe's instructions to notify their parents, Fang Yifan and Qiao Yingzi's faces immediately fell, but they still did as Peng Jiahe said.

Then they sent text messages and made phone calls as needed, but He Xinyan just sat there motionless.

Peng Jiahe originally wanted to ask, but then he thought of something and swallowed his question back.

In fact, Peng Jiahe had considered that He Xinyan's situation might be similar to hers. If she asked something she shouldn't have, and it stirred up painful memories for He Xinyan, she would be the one who would be embarrassed.

Mu Qi was secretly impressed to see that Peng Jiahe had thought of everything. 'An eighteen-year-old girl, yet she has the potential to be a leader. She'll definitely be a giant in the future; she's not to be underestimated!'

About half an hour later, the manager had the food brought out.

While everyone else picked up their knives and forks to start eating, Fang Yifan felt a little awkward because he had never eaten Western food before and could only watch how others did it and learn from them.

Of everyone present, Fang Yifan's family was probably the only one that was struggling financially; the others all came from relatively well-off families.

Qiao Yingzi's father has assets exceeding 100 million yuan, He Xinyan's father is one of the top ten outstanding entrepreneurs in Shanghai, Huang Zhitao's parents are international doctors and their family conditions are also very affluent, Ji Yangyang's father is a district head in Shanghai, and his uncle is also a big tycoon, so he is quite familiar with eating Western food.

When the group was halfway through their meal, Pei Duo, Li Meng, Pan Shuai, Tong Wenjie, Fang Yuan, Liu Jing, and Song Qian rushed in.

Several parents breathed a sigh of relief when they saw their children sitting there eating.

Immediately afterwards, Tong Wenjie became somewhat angry and demanded that the other party, Yifan, take action.
